Some minor edhewear and creasing, otherwise clean and tight. The practice of praying for the sick with the laying on of hands and anointing with oil is growing rapidly, to an extent not seen since the early centuries. This warm-hearted, down-to-earth book offers practical advice on receiving and taking part in the ministry of healing: attitudes of power and patience, the reasons for sickness, forgiveness and inner healing, the place of the medical profession, and the question of failure. Throughout, personal illustrations from John Gunstone's wide experience illuminate his challenging account. Canon John Gunstone is Ecumenical Officer to the Greater Manchester Ecumenical Council.
